AME - Sensing and image processing for environmental application
Through capturing target wavelength of light, various physical and chemical information can be obtained. This project focuses on proposing an integrated sensor system for environmental applications, which can be monitoring the ice conditions on roads, harvest conditions on farm lands, etc.
As the start of this project, students will search for various image sensors and their processing methods. Based on these background studies, students will propose an integrated system for chosen application by the students. If successful, the next semester will start constructing the sensor system.
Students who have a wide interest in environmental application combined with sensing technologies should apply to this project. This is an open-ended project, and students should come up with their target environmental applications. For further information, please contact Prof. Taka Sakaue (hsakaue@nd.edu).
We are an interdisciplinary lab combining fluid mechanics and chemistry. Students who are interested in interdisciplinary research are encouraged to apply. We have collaborations with overseas institutions, such as JAXA (Japan), SUBARU (Japan), the University of Tokyo (Japan), Sophia University (Japan), Kanagawa University (Japan), Toyota Technological Institute (Japan), Aichi Institute of Technology (Japan), National Tsing Hua University (Taiwan), German Aerospace Center (Germany), Fraunhofer (Germany), and the Arctic University of Norway (Norway). There will be a chance for you to join one of them.
